India(middle row, second from the right)sang last night in her choir's Winter Concert. She participates in her school's audition-based Centennial Singers. Her director, Mr. Steadman, is a member of MoTab and really knows his stuff. They sounded beautiful. I hope she continues on with choral singing in High School and beyond.

Niall's 2nd grade class performed a choral reading of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Kevin, Leith, & I attended. It was one of the most charming and festive activities I have seen in elementary school. Mrs. Hanberg is a fabulous, Grandma-type teacher with lots of experience-it showed here. They sang the song, 'He's a mean one....' and then read the story in sections, divided into groups of 4-6 students. Soooooo darling!!

They also performed it for a school assembly, and I have heard from other parents that the kids in the audience were impressed and talking about it when they got home!
